General Issues

  • Add support for deleting and renaming of files, to enable original game's load and save system.
  • Add support for drawWizImage masking, triggered by flag 0x80 (Used in maze and putttime)
  • Add support for drawWizComplexPolygon (For Ski Ride & Credits of pajama3)
  • Dog and probably other games may write non-ASCII characters and '=' into .ini fields values.
 An example of such entry is highscore: "_HS=!$Q!B  Ñ‘=m4". Hex representation of the value is
 "21 24 51 21  42 20 20 a3 3d 6d 34". Probably we substitute non-ascii characters as well as '='
 by \xYY like it is done in C.

Sound system

Complete support for music/sound engine of the games

  • Multiple sound channels (8 channels)
  • Pool music and select music from pool
  • Sound variables (26 variables)
  • Sound flags (Looping and others)
  • Process sound code from SBNG resources, using a secondary process in main loop

U32 library calls

Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of kernelGetFunctions/kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.

  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in basketball
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccermls
  • The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer2004

Big Thinkers 1st Grade

Issues effect demo and full game.

  • The image of painting in room isn't updated correctly, after painting your own picture.

Issues effect full game only

  • The car gets stuck in the smart star challenge, maybe sound related ?

Fatty Bear

  • Add support for sound pitch changes for piano notes in DOS version.
  • Regressions which cause parts of the inventory area to be shown in upper left corner in many rooms.

Freddi Fish 2

Issues effect demo and full game.

  • Animation isn't synced during songs (ie the music when talking to captain near submarine)

Issues effect full game only

  • When using chalk on black board in school, can draw slightly outside the bounds.
  • The background isn't updated, after picking up urchin in room 13.
  • Graphical glitches on right screen edge during ending credits, as creatures reach right side of screen. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.

Freddi Fish 3

  • A black vertical strip is drawn over key, when the key is trapped in the Darkroom.

Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries

  • Russian updated version has bad picture in resource which shows up as garbage even with original version. It crashes ScummVM at least under Win32. With FreeBSD it works ok.
  • The data files use mixed filenames in the Macintosh HE99 version. 'Water Worries (0)', 'Water Worries (A)', 'Water Worries (2)','Water Worries (4)' and 'Water (7)'. This causes the game to fail, since it attempts to load Water Worries (7)' instead of 'Water (7)'

Let's Explore with Buzzy Games

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges (ie when trying to go outside in farmdemo) sometimes. The drawing section of akos codecs needs to be adjusted to draw inside rect (src/dst) limits.

Pajama Sam 1

  • The characters in the 'Kitchen' should each sing a unique song

Pajama Sam 3

  • Pajama Sam is always shown wearing a pumpkin over head in 'A Complex Exterior'.
  • Sprites aren't shown during 'Ski Ride', due to lack of zoom and angle support.
  • The images in 'Credits' aren't zoomed out and rotated, due to lack of zoom and angle support.

Pajama Sam's Lost & Found

Issues which effect HE98 version

  • Items to collect are sometimes removed from interface when collected, instead of a tick been displayed over the item. An example is collecting the teddy bear on level 8 (Passcode is J4V1Y)
  • Graphical glitches after collecting items on level 6 (Passcode is K1E6W), occurs as soon as comic book is collected.

Issues which effect HE100 version

  • Graphical glitches around screen edges.

Issues which effect all full versions

  • Pajama Sam and Otto are still talking on the first level, as the first items are been shown.

  • No cursor image or zoom when using magnifying glass

Putt-Putt Enters The Race

  • The animation isn't synced during song, after selecting yellow motor scooter at the speedway location.
  • The balls get stuck in the pinball type game at the the pachinko location, which uses case 1140 of logic dispatch.
  • Outback Al's head disappears when first talking to him, in the outback location.
  • When recycling old bottles in the 'junkyard' location, Putt-Putt's shadow changes to a default color of red. The shadow table isn't used at this point and the default color for shadows should be black.

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo

  • When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops. This problem only occurs in the HE72 version.

  • When the T-Rex is moving stone blocks, he is not masked by these blocks, due to lack of masking support in drawWizImage.
